No crowds, no engine noise, just peace and quite... then, there she blows!!! It is a very awakening experience to see the Humpback Whales in this way.
Every year between December and April visitors from all over the world flock to Maui to Whale Watch. Maui's shallow, warm and protected waters provide the perfect habitat for Humpback Whales to mate and give birth. As a matter of fact the waters off of Maui's South/West shores (Kihei, Lahaina, Wailea, Olowalu, Makena, Kaanapali, Kapalua, Napili) are the some of the most populated waters in the WORLD for Humpback Whales. Humpback whales are the most watchable whales due to their surf activities: Pec Slaps, Breaches, Fluke Slaps, Spy Hops and Tail Up Dives.

Most Epic Maui Whale Watch EVER - part 2
Check out this close-up humpback whale watching encounter just off the shores of west Maui! Often referred to as a whale ‘mugging,’ these two guys were extremely fortunate to get the whale watch of a lifetime as they prepared to go scuba diving:
Filmed off of the coast of west Maui’s Lahaina Town, this video was captured from a 10 foot zodiac boat on an iPhone and a GoPro and is one of the closest encounters we’ve ever seen on film!
If you plan to travel to Maui, Hawaii, from the period of mid December to mid May, you’re just in time to witness the Aloha State’s favorite time of year: whale season. The 5th largest species of whale in the world, these majestic humpbacks make their annual journey from the shores of Alaska to Hawaii each year in order to mate, give birth and nurse their young in the warm, shallow waters surrounding Hawaii. On Maui in particular, humpback whales particularly seem to love the shallow and protected Au’au Channel, which lies conveniently between west Maui and our neighbor island of Lanai.
While chasing after humpbacks is strictly prohibited, it’s a truly memorable experience when they take the time to approach you instead! You can see these stunning creatures during whale season on Maui on one of many popular whale watching tours, whether by boat with Kai Kanani and Redline Rafting or by outrigger canoe, stand up paddleboard or kayak with Hawaiian Paddle Sports and Maui Kayak Adventures. Additionally, you’re often even lucky enough to spot them from shore while lounging at the beach! Just remember to always pull over, park and get out of your car if the sudden urge to whale watch while driving hits.
When viewing them from the water, you may even get lucky enough to hear the males as they sing, and witness the many playful behaviors they exhibit on the surface of the water, including fluke up and down dives, blowing, pec and tail slapping, spy hopping, head slapping and breaching.
Truly an unforgettable experience in Maui, we recommend whale season for new and return visitors to The Valley Isle. Aloha!

As a matter of fact the waters off of Maui's South/West shores (Kihei, Lahaina, Wailea, Olowalu, Makena, Kaanapali, Kapalua, Napili) are the some of the most populated waters in the WORLD for Humpback Whales. Humpback whales are the most watchable whales due to their surf activities: Pec Slaps, Breaches, Fluke Slaps, Spy Hops and Tail Up Dives. They also surface on average every 10-15minutes to breath, spraying water 15 feet in the air as they clear their lungs through their blow hole, perfect for spectator's or those on a Maui Whale Watching tour. If you're in Maui during whale season going on a whale watch tour is a must!

Waikiki Outrigger Canoe Ride - Royal Hawaiian, Oahu, Hawaii
Outrigger canoe ride, available from the Royal Hawaiian Beach Activities desk.
Approx. 20 min. paddle out / surf back, catching a few waves.
Private rides are staffed with a Captain and Oarsman who handle everything, no prior experience is necessary, this is suitable for many ability levels, most people won't even break a sweat.
This is a must do for anyone at least once. It's a beautiful, relaxing way to view the beach and Diamond Head from a unique perspective, in the middle of Waikiki Bay.
Highly recommended for first time visitors early on in their time in Waikiki to get an overview of the resort area layout.
Outrigger canoes are Polynesian craft named for the additional float off to the side. This adds stability and improves hydrodynamics allowing navigation in rougher waters. This also allows for faster speeds with less effort as well.
I've paddled kayaks in the Keys, single-hull Lewis and Clark canoes on flat water, and inflatable rafts in Class 4 rapids, and this is like riding in a Bentley.
You pierce through waves with a little almost weightless hop. Once you're among the surfers you hold a commanding view, completely unobstructed for 360 degrees. Your Captain can hold you there for a few minutes so you can look around, find your hotel, take photos. When you're ready catching a wave is effortless. The Captain will turn you around and tell you to get ready to paddle. After a few strokes you pick up speed quickly but always completely under control. Then just lift your paddles up, sit back and enjoy the view and wind in your face.
This is a great way to see Waikiki in a whole new way that very few people get to experience.
Special thanks go out to Alexandra von Faber-Castell, the Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, and the Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort and Spa, and the O'ahu Visitors Bureau, and the honorary, self-appointed Mayor Kainoa Daines.

Early morning canoe excursion from the Fairmont Kea Lani Beach. The waters in the early morning are so calm and serene. What a wonderful way to start the day.
This was my first attempt at filming such an activity. Though convenient, I wouldn't recommend affixing the camera to the paddle.

World's Top Hotels: Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, Hawaii, USA
Discover Four Seasons Resort Maui at
Find sun-soaked tranquility at an enchanted enclave nestled on the magnificent white-sand crescent of Maui's southwest coast. Enjoy the lush tropical gardens and the dramatic peak of Haleakala as your backdrop. Overlooking the gentle waters of Wailea Beach, with its ever-attentive hotel staff, it epitomizes a classical Hawaiian palace resort.
A stroll through fragrant plumeria trees and art-laden public areas reveals a study in relaxed elegance. Four Seasons Resort Maui hugs the sun-soaked Wailea Beach of Hawaii's second largest island. In the distance, lush valleys carved into mountains reveal the inspiration for Maui's nickname: Valley Isle. Journey through a magnificent reef system -- past green sea turtles -- in an outrigger canoe with the championship paddling team.
From the tranquil waters of Wailea Beach to Hookipa Beach, the windsurfing capital of the world, there's a beach for everyone. Far from it all, yet two minutes from high-end shopping. The Shops at Wailea offer over 70 stores -- from Louis Vuitton to Tiffany. More than a way to capture the idyllic scenery, taking a photo of the eighth hole at Gold Course at Wailea Golf Club may actually improve your game. Of all the complimentary services and amenities, this is perhaps the finest: a passionate, yet unobtrusive staff, with two staff members for every guest. It all starts with a lei greeting upon arrival.
Four Seasons Maui appeals to a wide range of travelers because of the many things to do in and around the Resort and the island itself - including the fine art of doing nothing at all.
